- Plan a unit of work.
- Tailor-made planning which acknowledges school aims, learning intentions and curriculum guidelines.
- Your own course planning.
- Class diagnosis, aims and projects.
- Resources. Activities and dynamics.
- Shared and individual goals.
- Assessment and evaluation.
- Yearly planning having educational aims in mind.
- Topic-based term-planning having projects in mind.
- Time-bound weekly planning which gives room for students’ participation.
- Developing linguistic, cognitive, emotional, moral and social skills: why and how.
- From experience to action via reflection and concept formation.
- Embracing diversity today: in our students, in what we need to teach, in materials and resources.
This is an experiential workshop which invites participants to become aware of how planning enables good teaching. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss, analyse and explore possibility to find ways of reaching all our students. Every participant will have the chance to plan a unit of work to start the year afresh.
